Where Next, a campaign aimed at encouraging others to venture out of their comfort zones and embrace difficulties in order to achieve meaningful progress, has been launched by the World’s Most Awarded Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and, of course, the Philippines are all part of the campaign.
Glenfiddich has a long tradition of pushing itself to new heights, paving the way for others to follow, and always asking, “Where Next?” Mavericks, people who represent the changemaker spirit, everyday individuals who are daring enough to challenge themselves to build their own paths, generating change even when the odds are stacked against them, are at the heart of the Where Next campaign. Glenfiddich’s Where Next also features an intriguing collaboration with TEDx groups across the region, including TEDxSingapore, TEDxKL, TEDxJakarta, TEDxBangkok, and TEDxDiliman for the Philippines, by offering ImagineNext, a sequence of riveting lectures by local speakers throughout Southeast A
“Being the World’s Most Awarded Single Malt Scotch Whisky says a lot about how much we constantly push ourselves out of our comfort zone to be better. We believe everyone possesses this Maverick spirit – one that inspires them to always look at ways to improve, aiming for the next stage in their personal and professional growth,” said Brett Bayly, Regional Brand Ambassador for Glenfiddich in South East Asia. “It’s this ‘Where Next’ ethos that drives Glenfiddich, and our Where Next campaign celebrates the idea that growth can only come by continually embracing the unknown. Through reaching out directly to our community, partnering with TEDx-communities and collaborating with diverse Mavericks, we want to invite them to join us on a grand adventure of self-discovery across all important stages of their lives,” he added.
Explore introspection with Glenfiddich’s Where Next Instagram experience
To offer a first taste of the campaign to its community, Glenfiddich has launched a digital experience to encourage its community to start thinking about how they can challenge themselves and their norms. With the Where Next Instagram experience, the simple digital exercise allows thoughtful questions to be posed to its community and their friends, such as “Tag your role model. Why are they your inspiration?” and “What’s one thing you always wanted to try, but never dared to?” With this first step, Glenfiddich seeks to motivate more Mavericks to develop an unwavering spirit to improve themselves.
